Dismissal of charges vs Espinosa, Lim, et al. ‘perplexing’ says Poe

How a “self-confessed drug lord” like Kerwin Espinosa could be absolved by the State was “perplexing,” Senator Grace Poe lamented on Tuesday.

Poe said she was “disturbed” by the basis upon which the Department of Justice (DOJ) panel made its recommendation to dismiss the drug charges against Espinosa, noting that hehimself admitted before a Senate inquiry that he was involved in the drug trade.

“How a self-confessed drug lord like Kerwin Espinosa can be exonerated by the State, is perplexing. It reflects the sloppiness of the police’s investigation and case build up against these drug lords,” the senator added.
